"Ad Hominem" just means you are insulting the person rather than addressing their argument. Like, calling someone stupid, instead of explaining why what they're saying is stupid.
The only time I ever got in trouble playing with those things was when I was having so much fun, I didn't notice a line up of people started forming behind me. They were all looking around wondering who's fuckin' kid this was.. My mom got so embarrassed she dragged me away by my hair, and told me I wouldn't be allowed in the bowling alley anymore if I couldn't act normal.
That's actually not true. Even steel girders will dissolve to rust within a few hundred years, if left to the elements. Fossils are a 1 in a million occurrence that require precise conditions in order to happen. In conditions that are less than ideal, there would be zero evidence of anything we have built in the last few thousand years without constant maintenance.
Only stone endures long enough to last longer than that, and we tend to harvest stone to build new things, every time we find old things made out of it. So everything that would have otherwise lasted, could have easily been recycled so many times over, that it's completely unrecognizable now. Except for the few, rare structures that we see today, and have little to no explanation for, other than speculation based on vague 3rd person accounts.
We don't. But I find it hard to believe that not one person in 90,000 years of human history, never came up with a single advancement similar to the ones that happen all the time now. Our brains were just as developed as they are now, for that entire time.
It is inconceivable that we only started using them in any significant capacity, just recently.
Human beings have been around, in their current state of intellectual capacity for well over 100,000 years.
Looking at all that we've accomplished in just the last 10,000 years of known history...it is not unreasonable to assume that we could have accomplished just as much several times over already...but for whatever reason the knowledge of those accomplishments have been repeatedly erased from history.
The only benefit to a kakistocracy, is that these morons are so incompetent, that they can't actually accomplish any of their nefarious plans. It's like a bank robber that shoots themselves in the crotch, while trying to pull their gun out of their pocket.
Biden shouldn't have done anything. His Attorney General should have been less sensitive about appearing biased, and started pursuing Trump's prosecution earlier. The entire time the J6 committee was doing its investigation in the Senate...a special prosecutor like Jack Smith, should have been riding along, compiling evidence for an indictment. The instant the committee released its final report, that special prosecutor should have taken over the investigation and presented its evidence to a grand jury, as soon as possible.
That would have given them an extra year to prosecute Trump in court. They were literally weeks away from putting him on trial, as it was. That extra year would have at least guaranteed his disqualification and most likely would have resulted in real prison time.
But Merrick Garland blinked. He dragged his feet before assigning a special prosecutor to continue what the Senate committee had started. That was what they should have done differently. Biden should have had nothing to do with it. It's the only way to make sure it was a legitimate trial. Any hint that Biden was involved, would have tainted the results and MAGA would have never accepted the outcome.
It wouldn't even have mattered if some of them still didn't accept it. Enough of them would, that the movement would have been crippled. And any serious lawmaker in a position of authority would have an almost impossible time explaining away those results, without also discrediting themselves in the process.
Nobody actually cares what the crackpots have to say about the 2020 election results, because there is literally no evidence to back up those claims. It would be the same thing if all the evidence proved that Trump was guilty of trying to commit a coup. We could all safely dismiss all of his remaining supporters as irrelevant, and move on. The sane ones would let it go, and the ones that couldn't would sound insane.
Republican? (check)
Florida? (also, check)
